00:00 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is still stranded in Delhi after his plane developed
00:05 a technical snag on September 10, the day when the G20 summit ended.
00:09 His replacement aircraft, which was on its way from Canada, was diverted to London.
00:14 No reason was given for the unexpected diversion of the replacement aircraft.
00:18 The replacement plane, which initially was routing through Rome on its way to Delhi,
00:22 was diverted to London.
00:23 The earliest the plane would leave London is "early Tuesday morning local time," the
00:27 Canadian Prime Minister's office or PMO said.
00:30 Meanwhile, a technician with the replacement part of the Airbus plane that was grounded
00:34 in Delhi has been sent to India.
00:36 Trudeau can still board the Airbus plane if it meets all air safety regulations.
00:41 But if neither the Airbus plane nor the replacement flight are available, another jet would be
00:46 sent to Delhi to pick up Trudeau and his delegation.
00:48 However, this is not the first time the 34-year-old aircraft has developed a technical glitch.
00:54 In the past, there have been instances when the aircraft failed to perform its duties
00:58 because of an issue surrounding the mechanics.
01:01 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's international trips are carried out by a CC-150 Polaris
01:06 aircraft.
01:07 The Canadian government has five CC-150 Polaris aircraft that perform the duties of transporting
01:13 military and government officers.
01:15 Among these, PM's aircraft was registration number 1501, has a VIP configuration and a
01:22 special livery specific to the Government of Canada.
01:25 It is worth mentioning that these aircraft are an average of age 30 years and are about
01:30 to be retired from the fleet.
01:31 They will be replaced with six Airbus A330 MRTTs or multi-role tanker transport over
01:38 a span of the next few years.
01:40 The Royal Canadian Air Force or RCAF acquired the five civilian Airbus A310-300 aircraft
01:47 in the early 1990s as part of the MRTT program, which had been ordered by Wardair in the late
01:54 1980s.
01:55 Three of the aircraft are employed as air-to-air refuelling tankers, while the remaining eight
02:00 are transport aircraft that fly passengers, freight and dignitaries all over the world.
02:06 Trudeau's aircraft has had a history of snags.
02:09 The 15001 veered away from maintenance personnel and hit a wall at CFB Trenton in 2019.
02:16 It was out of operation for 16 months while being repaired.
02:19 The damage to 15001's nose and engine cost $11 million.
02:24 Before that, in 2016, just 30 minutes after take-off, the plane's flap developed a snag,
02:29 forcing Trudeau to return to Ottawa, Canada's capital.
02:33 He was on his way to Brussels to clinch a free-trade agreement with the European Union
02:36 at the time.
02:37 Trudeau's main opponent, leader of the Conservative Party Pierre Poilivère, attacked the Prime
02:42 Minister for mismanagement.
02:44 Now Trudeau gets to experience the same flight delays he has imposed on Canadians through
02:48 his mismanagement of federal airports, he wrote on social media platform X.
02:53 Trudeau stayed in his room in New Delhi's Lalith Hotel after his Airbus plane developed
02:57 the snag amid frosty India-Canada ties.
03:00 India issued a tersely worded statement expressing strong concerns about continuing anti-India
03:05 activities of extremist elements in Canada on Sunday before secessionist group Six for
03:11 Justice (SFJ) arranged Khalistan referendum at a Gurudwara in British Columbia.
